Yakuza performed at the Beat Kitchen on 1/19/’08 and as a little fan that I am, I was there supporting them.

I like this image. Now, is this representative of Yakuza? Yes, and of course no but I believe an image like this one could be viewed as a recognizable “rock show” photograph. That is why I chose it. I mean, Bruce Lamont isn’t even holding a saxophone. What this photograph doesn’t say is that; Yakuza is experimental metal rock at its core, they are progressive musicians, there is four of them, they are avant-garde in its pure definition, they have jazz and electronic music influences. What does it say then? I guess the audience determines that, right? Whoever is on the other side and how the other side interprets the work is as important as how the art itself is intended and presented -sometimes.

How do I say all that I want to say in a single frame, with one print, with one negative, with one shot? Is that even possible? One? Recently I was told that in itself is impossible. This is intriguing to me and lately I’ve been preoccupied with it maybe a little too much…

I’m just adding text to my photography (an experiment).

Hey, my name is Jhonathan F. Gómez and this blog is here for a few reasons. One; to re-connect with the tech/web world. I help on a few other blogs and maintain similar "things of this nature" but I haven't held a personal blog in a really long time. Two; I guess I aim to journal, meditate, analyze and comment on my own photography. It helps the creative process they say... I'm not a writer, so this will also help my writing -I hope. And last, to experiment with and explore the relationship between an image and text. It's like I'm talking to myself.
